    Re: Ben Nevis 2009

    Hi Mrs Stagger! Its a shame you're not doing it this year, it would be good to see some familiar and friendly faces!

    I'm VERY twitchy, slow to start with, almost no training, and a cock up of a race two weeks ago but I don't care - I'm out to enjoy it even if I do get ejaculated off the mountain at Red Burn.

    We'll be staying in Glen Nevis too, the nice lady on the phone said they'll be busy but no need to book.

    Celebrations / Piss ups: there's the awards which I think are in the toon but we're going to the Ben Nevis Inn at Achintee (we pass it on the race) http://www.ben-nevis-inn.co.uk/. Its fab in there, there's a Ceilidh at 9 but you definitely need to book for that, its there busiest day of the year.

    Heres to some good summit weather. Not worried about getting up and down, just worried about me twigs, aka glass ankles. I'll strap em both up for this one and enjoy the descent. Not looking forward to the ascent though.
    I take it youre not doing it this year?
    why do we do?:wink:

    MotVeryMiniMarvin and I are travelling up tomorrow by train (a bargain with a railcard when you book early) and staying at Glen Nevis for three nights.

    Forecast doesn't look brilliant for Saturday

    I'll be twitchy on the start line. Not sure what i'm looking forward to the most, the race or the drunken troublemaking later that night.
